BEIJING, June 6 (Xinhua) — China will resolutely protect the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese students and scholars overseas, Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said Thursday.
He made this statement at a regular departmental press conference, responding to a journalist’s request to comment on the recent US announcement of its intention to introduce visa restrictions for foreign students at Harvard University.
According to him, educational cooperation between China and the United States is mutually beneficial and China has consistently opposed the politicization of cooperation in this area.
The above-mentioned action by the United States can only damage the state image and international reputation of this country itself, the diplomat noted. -0-
